Expert reviews and ratings

Perhaps making it turn-based was the only way this game was going to work. In all honesty, forgoing the campaign mode and jumping straight in a skirmish might be a better proposition. Being restricted in terms of buildings, troops etc… only adds to the...

I will go out on a limb and say that given some more love and (lots) more patches, “Eador: Masters of a Broken World” could become a classic in its genre. If you're a fantasy TBS fan you should definitely pick this up (it's only 20 bucks) and watch the...

Some serious patches could uncover the game buried beneath the flaws, but as of right now, playing Masters of the Broken World not worth the headache. In this high-fantasy world of trolls, archers, and the undead, it's a shame that your most dreadful enemy is the game itself.

Eador. Masters of the Broken World è la copia esatta del suo predecessore, con più cerone sulla faccia. Se avete giocato Genesis recentemente, l'acquisto può essere giustificato soltanto dalla voglia di provarlo in multiplayer o di vedere le novità grafiche (anche se quest'ultimo aspetto è davvero relativo).

Фанаты могут спокойно не замечать новинку. Но если вам нравятся фэнтезийные TBS, а «Сотворение» вы пропустили или не осилили, обязательно купите «Эадор. Владыки миров». Только подождите, пока ее доведут до ума. Судя по тому, с какой оперативностью выходят «заплатки», много времени это не займет.

Eador – Masters of the Broken World is the kind of game I can see myself playing for 20 hours or more, honing my tactical skills, deciding which hero best suits my needs and the perfect composition for the army.

It’s a game by strategy enthusiasts, for strategy enthusiasts. Once you look past the awkward, pimply exterior, a game of surprising interest looks back. Eador is distinctly Russian, and that makes it both endlessly fascinating and thoroughly confusing.

As encouraged as I am by the patches Snowbird has already released for Masters of the Broken World (it was much worse when it first launched), and as much as I adore the ideas it is built on, my recommendation has to come with serious caveats. Despite its often-disastrous implementation, Eador’s design is worth your time – a testament to its strength.

Or do so only when you’ve run out of every conceivable option, and someone has a gun to your head demanding you purchase it. Until the bugs are ironed out, it’s just not worth the headache.

Personally, I don’t think the improved look is worth the extra cash, especially for long-term fans of the series who might be expecting more of a sequel, but that’s just me. I’m all about internal value over looks. Just ask my wife.
